NAME
       moon-buggy - drive some car across the moon

SYNOPSIS
       moon-buggy [-hnsV] [--help] [--no-title] [--show-scores] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
       Moon-buggy is a simple character graphics game, where you drive some
       kind of car across the moon's surface.  Unfortunately there are
       dangerous craters there.  Fortunately your car can jump over them!

OPTIONS
       The program understands the following command line options.

       -h, --help
              shows a short usage message.

       -m, --mesg
              disable write access to your terminal by other users, so your
              boss can't disturb your game play with the help of "write" or
              "finger".

       -n, --no-title
              skips the title screen.

       -s, --show-scores
              shows the current highscore list and exits.

       -V, --version
              prints the program's version to standard output and exits.

KEYS
       The moon-buggy is controlled by a couple of keys, which are described
       near the bottom of the screen.  Most important are the following keys.

       SPC, j makes your car jump.  The length of a jump is fixed and you can
              only start a new jump, while the wheels have contact to the
              ground.

       a, l   fires the mining laser.  The laser is used to remove stones,
              which may block your way.

       q      quits the game prematurely.  But you still keep your score and
              may enter the highscore list.

FILES
       The following files on your system are related to moon-buggy.

       /usr/local/bin/moon-buggy
              the moon-buggy executable.

       /var/games/moon-buggy/mbscore
              the global score file

       $HOME/.mbscore
              the local score file.  This is used, if moon-buggy has no write
              access to the global score file.
